for his Colonel Webb came slowly up, and
as he dismounted at the hut the banished
NOrtherner said
''Col. Webb, am Clement l.. Vallandig-
ham, a citizen of Ohio, and Of the United
States, imprisoned, villified and tbanished
from my country for my love Of liberty and
free speech"
The Colonel stiffly answered.
Mr.. Vallandigham, as a citizen of Ohio
and the United States you are my enemy.
As one banished for his love of liberty, for
which the South Is fighting today, bid you
welcome to the Southern COnfederaey."
They then entered into general cOnver-
sation lasting about half an hour, at the end
of which time Private Nunnelee secured a
conveyance and Vallandigham and his bag
gage were received inside the Confederate
lines. The incident made quite a stir at the
picket post, and could the men have had
their way they would have headed the man
for the Federal lines and obliged him to re-
turn, as they counted far more on muskets
than speeches TO win their cause.
Mr.. Nunnelee is now, and has for many
years past been, the editor of the Tuscaloosa
Gazette, and the incidents of this narrative,
never. before published, were taken from his
own lips

Artistic House Furnishing Selected

A lady who is the editor of two periodicals
devoted TO art and decorative matters said 10
herself some months ago, and then to the
proprietor Of those papers: '"rhere are hun
dreds and hundreds Of people who would
like to have their wall papers, their carpets
and their curtains bought for them from
New York stores, where they can have the
advantage Of selecting by proxy, from large
ass0rtments." She was sure this was true
because her papers received so many letters
asking for advice about such things. The
proprietors agreed with her, and at her sug-
geSti0n supply department was organized
in connection with the papers, the entire
charge of which was put into her hands. No
special pains have been taken TO advertise
1t, but 1t has steadily prospered and grown
until now this enterprising woman finds her
self almost buried under its increasing
claims. l asked her the other day where
her orders mostly came from.
From all over the country" she replied.
Il have good many from New York city
itself, from people who are readers Of our
papers, or who know of them, and who feel
more confidence in the judgment of some one
connected with them than In their own. But
the majority Of the orders, of course come
from people who live in other cities and in
small towns. And our customers live in all
parts OF the country North, East, South
and West"
What do you buy for them, and do you
furnish whole houses or just buy detached
things?'

DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND.
How Little Albert NoIen's Active Mind
has found out the World.
Hartford Conrant.1


When the other exercises were over little
Albert Nolen went up to the stage. He is a
very bright boy who, like Laura Brigham,
is deaf, dumb and blind. He was born deaf,
and lost his sight at the age Of years. He
is handsome little fellow, wonderfully
quick in his movements, and full of intelli-
gence. Principal Williams first told how
his education was begun, when he came to
the asylum last fall. At first various articles
were marked with their names in raised let
tiers, as hat" ball." etc, and he soon
learned to pick out corresponding letters
when one of these articles was put in his
hands. They supposed that they associated
the letter and the articles, but after five
weeks were satisfied that this was not the
case, that all he recognized was the similarl-
ty of the letters themselves. Then all at
once he seized the idea Of correspondence
between the articles themselves and the
names that represent them. Then he began
to make great progress. Now he has a vo-
cabulary of over 800 words, which he uses
with understanding. He writes them legi-
bly,, spells them ON his fingers with wonder
ful rapidity and makes the corresponding
signs. He conyerses by signs with the other
pupils, among whom he Is a pet, and goes all
about the building, not showing clumsiness
and never making mistake
Now for one or two Illustrations out of the
many that were afforded Of what he can do.
Mr.. Williams stood by him and spelled on
his fingers ''go to the window" The boys
hand was against that Of Mr.. Williams's and
he recognized by feeling each letter as it was
formed. Instantly he repeated the order and
then walked to the window. In the same
way he was told TO open and shut it, to drink
water from glass on the table, to break a
stick that lay there, and many other things.
Then he repeated in signs sentences that
were spelled to him, containing adiectiyes
translation into signs following Instantly on
the spelling of the sentence. Then he was
given sentences printed on raised Slips or
cardboard. His fingers moved over the let
terS with astonishing speed and as soon as
he reached the end he spelled the sentence
on his fingers letter by letter and then gave
1t again In the sign language. accurately,
gracefully and promptly He was given de
tached words printed in raised letters and
arranged these into sentences, hardly ever
making mistake in construction. He also
writes legibly such words as he has learned.
The advance he has made in these few
months is simply astonishing. His direct in
struction has been chiefly by Miss Flora
Noyes, of Franklin, N. H., a graduate Of the
asylum two years ago. 1t is impossible in a
few sentences to give any adequate idea of
what has been accomplished in breaking
down the wall Of isolation raised by his triple
misfortune and giving opportunity to an nn-
usually active mind TO establish relations
with others.

vALLAN DICHAM.
How He Was Received into the Con-
federate Lines.


One day in May, 1868, as Private S. +. Nun
melee, Of the 51st Alabama Regiment, was on
picket about five miles from Murfreesboro,
Tenn. Federal officer, entirely unattended
and carrying a flag of truce, rode up and in
quired for the officer in command, and
through him for the Colonel of the regiment
Col. J. ID. Webb was on the line, couple Of
miles to the rear, and Private Nunnelee was
sent to inform him that the Federals were
desirous of passing the noted Clement l..
Vallandigham within the Confederate lines,
as per order Of the Secretary Of War. This
move had been anticipated, as Vallandig-
hams sentence had been promulgated, but
the Confederate Government had no desire
to accept him. Had he come as q recruit for
the ranks he would have been welcome, but
as banished politician he was guest whom
no one cared to entertain. Col. Webb took
his time about riding to the front. and as he
got there Nunnelee was sent down the high
way to investigate second white flag. This
was waving above vehicle drawn by one
horse and occupied by Federal Lieutenant
and Vallandigham. The officer was driving
and the banished politician was sitting very
stiff and erect. But few words passed as the
officer drew rein. He said to Nunnelee:
Here is Vallandigham, sentenced to ban
ishment"
And to the great politician he said
Come, have no time to spare"
Il protest against this outrage-sOlemnly
protest" answered Vallandigham.
"Yes, but hurry up. I'll take your trunk
of. Jump down, now-good day"
And the officer sprang into the vehicle,
turned the horse round, and went off at d
fast trot, leaving Vallandigham and the Con-
federate soldier together ON the highway
Previous to the war Mr.. Nunnelee was edi-
tor Of paper at Eutaw, and Vallandigham
was one of its readers. AS they stood there
the private soldier introduced himself and
the politician gave him hearty shake of the
hand and asked:
What on earth are you doing here?"
"In the ranks"
And are such men as you fighting in the
ranks OF the Confederate army?"
Thousands of U.S."
"Then that settles 1.-THE North can never
conquer you"
After some further talk the soldier carried
the politicians trunk into deserted negro

THE PROSPECTS OF '88.

The political campaign Of next year
cannot be easily forecast, and there is
mach speculation upon the probable
issues. Certain things, however, are
clear, and they help to show the situa-
ton. In the first place, there will be
no fear of grave disaster from the sue
cess Of either of the great parties. The
argument drawn from the unutterable
woes that were formerly declared to be
the sure consequence of Democratic
success can no longer be brought into
service. Everybody in the country
knows that its general condition will
be little affected by the result Of the
election. The rebel debt will not be
paid. Compensation will not be made
for slaves. There will lie no effort to
question or to reverse any settlement of
the war. The rebel brigadiers will
not ride rough-shod over the constitu-
ton and trample the flag in the dust.
All the fears which have been enter
tanned by many honest people are hap
PLY laid forever. In theseeond place,
the general policy of the government
will not be greatly changed by tho sue
cess of either party. The Republican
leaders are constantly claiming much
of the credit of thosspresent administra-
ton upon the ground that it has not
dared to depart seriously from the Re-
publican course. However that may
be, it is certain that the election of a
Democratic President did not produce
a financial or commercial crisis, and
that no radical change has been de-
sired or effected in the general public
policy. No voter will feel next year
that in supporting either party nomi-
nation he is voting for or against free
trade, for instance, or against care.
full regard for vested interests of every
kind. These are two very importan,
and significant facts. We may add to
them that in simple contest between
the two parties administrative reform
will not be made decisive issue, be
cause neither party stands distinctively
for such reform. The fact that tbs
conservatism of the Democratic admin
istration has destroyed the general ap
rrehension Of disaster. which has Ions
been associated with the Democratic
name, and that no grave or radica
change of policy will follow Democra
tic success, will produce a much lar
ger independent vote than has beer
known for many years. This is a con
sideration which should cause bot
parties to nominate the best possibl
candidate whom they can command
and to trust, not to dark horse, bu
to we'll known character and service
Mr.. Cleveland will lose some of til
independent vote which he received j
1884, and Mr.. Blaine would lose
large conservative vote and part of til
Irish vote that were cast for him, q
, the last election. Nothing will b
gained on either side by relying upo
popular ignorance of the candidat,
